Digital BW, The Print

Paul Roark experimented (if that's right word) with this when the 1400 first came out. Perhaps he'll jump in here. I seem to recall the success of this technique varied somewhat with the particular 1400 being used, ie there was some variance from one 1400 to another.

Nevertheless, today I stumbled across a website that suggests that by following certain settings on the 1400/1430 one can achieve very good B&W with just one black pigment ink. They claim smooth tones (thus no graininess) that rival ABW settings. What's up with that? Here's a link to their site: http://www.photosnowdonia.co.uk/ZPS/epson1400-B&W.htm It really doesn't make any sense that it would work for fine art work, so please, has anyone reported on this? Do I hear Clayton coming down the hall?
